As I have been working at fixing my Super A steering problem, I have run in to a problem that I would like to get some ideas on. First of all, it looks like my steering problem was caused by a combination of three things; a bad upper bearing, a worn key that holds the gear on the shaft, and a badly worn ball joint. I am at the point of reassembly where I've put the gear with key, the bearing retaining plate, the bearing, and the snap ring on the shaft. My problem is in trying to get the bearing up into the bearing seat. I am assuming that the bearing is to be forced up into the seat by means of tightening the bearing retainer bolts, otherwise, if you try to put the bearing in first and then put in the shaft you can't install the snap ring not to mention probably damaging the new bearing by driving the shaft up into it. Because you can't see the bearing with the gear and the bearing retaining plate in the way it is very difficult to get the bearing lined up on the seat. I have spent a lot of time on this with no success. What has been your experience, and what am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any suggestions, and I apologize for the long post.
